Rock On: Jumozy Presents Online “Full Body Stone Massage” Continuing Education Course

Stones have been used for healing for thousands of years. That tradition continues today: smooth stones are incorporated into massage or placed on the body to provide the benefits of their inherent healing properties, as well as to apply heat or cold.

In Jumozy’s comprehensive Full Body Stone Massage online course (3 CE Hrs), massage therapists can learn how to incorporate stones into their practice. Meade Steadman, LMT and professional educator, guides students through all aspects of this modality. This NCBTMB-approved course includes visual, step-by-step video demonstrations of stone massage techniques and of full-body massage routines with both hot and cold stones. Steadman also discusses history; benefits of thermo- and cryotherapy; contraindications; selecting, cleaning, and energizing stones; equipment; getting started; draping; alternating hot and cold stones in a session; incorporating stones in other modalities; energy work with chakras and Ayurvedic doshas; post-treatment recommendations; and marketing and other professional considerations.

Incorporating stones as massage tools is also easier on the therapist. Stones minimize injury to your hands, wrists, and elbows, and make the work less exhausting. Stone massage is also good for the bottom line and a way to personalize a massage and to differentiate a therapist’s offerings.

The course is broken down into small, manageable units, with quizzes to test and reinforce knowledge. Video footage pulled from the award-winning Art & Practice of Stone Massage (produced by Aesthetic VideoSource) breaks up text with discussions and demonstrations of the procedure. At the end of the course, upon satisfactory assessment scores, students can immediately print out a certificate of achievement.

Student feedback has been positive, speaking to the quality of information, presentation, organization, and overall user friendliness:

“…The course is really well laid out and clearly explained. Video quality, instruction and demonstrations are excellent. I like the way that many aspects are integrated into the explanation of the technique, such as reviews of body mechanics and anatomy.  All in all, really well done.” Maureen S.
